"Mr President, I wonder whether the Commissioner heard the remarks of the Irish Taoiseach Enda Kenny at the PPE conference in Madrid recently? I wonder, Commissioner, did you hear him describe the arrival of the Troika in Ireland as a bloodless coup, and I wonder if you agree with him?
Undoubtedly, the Taoiseach’s remarks were more about absolving his own government’s responsibilities of continuing the Fianna Fáil agenda of crippling austerity that has financially devastated Irish families and, in fact, devastated our domestic economy. Joined by the EU institutions, it has been an agenda that has forced the Irish people, representing 1% of the EU population, into 42% of the costs of the European banking crisis.
While the Commission and the Irish Government celebrate economic growth as a vindication of their agenda, do you, Commissioner, know that in Ireland we have a severe crisis in our health services, for example? Do you know that Ireland has an unprecedented homelessness crisis? Will you accept, Commissioner, that the EU economic agenda that is epitomised by the European Semester is a failure driven by a political ideology that has put the interests of financial markets ahead of the needs of citizens, and in fact has devastated our economies?"@en1
